From ball boy to whipping boy

That kid was treated shabbily. Russell may project and gesticulate all he likes, but the fact is that his was a poor effort. The ball was rope-bound in any event.

If the twitterati are to be believed, the boy has just been ejected from the ground; certainly, that looked the likely outcome when a group of officious-looking jackets began assembling at the scene. The cameras bravely panned away, however, so I can't be sure.

Andre Russell should be ashamed of himself. I should say that of the authorities, too, but I rather doubt they are capable of shame. And I wince to think how the scapegoat's next day at school will go.

And all this after Ravi Rampaul decapitated one of his peers during the second ODI. These kids need a union.

Since when, by the way, do four runs not accrue when a spectator fields the ball inside the boundary? I've been out of the loop too long.

That Russell had no cause to WTF at all may be seen from the original vine I posted, and from this image:
